[QUOTE="cteld, post: 273657, member: 43034"] Apparently it's not uncommon. Dr. Richard K. Bernstein in Diabetes Solution, p. 406 (Little, Brown 2011) says "Erectile dysfunction affects about 65 percent of diabetic males, and is the result of years of elevated blood sugars." (In case you're wondering, "elevated" to Bernstein is stricter than to most diabetes doctors.) He says the cause may be "neuropathy, blocked blood vessels, or both." He says that among his own patients, excellent blood sugar control often helps in the case of neurologically-caused erectile dysfunction. When the problem was caused by blocked blood vessels, he says "I never see improvement." He says also that when blood sugars go lower than about 4.2 then "it's normal to be unable to have erections." He has more to say, scattered around the book. [/QUOTE]
